Discuss - Please stay on topic and no jibber jabber.

Ummmm, shouldn't this be in off topic?

Yes, they do. They also believe the earth is only about 10,000yrs old and a fertilized egg is a human life.

It's hard to conceive of people like this who have their heads so far up their own backside that they've lost all touch with reality. It's scary, actually.

Yeah, like those who are going to vote for Obama despite the fact he can't (or won't) prove he has a birthright to run for President. Very scary!

What's even more scary is that people choose to discuss this stupid crap on an RC forum, talk about ONE THING being wrong...and don't realize the following:

All politicians are crooked

All religions are WRONG.

the earth is ROUND and inhabited by PEOPLE. Not political organizations, not extremist groups, but PEOPLE

Build a bridge and get over it..after stepping off your soapboxes. you're all pompous blowhards, and remind me of a boss I had recently.
We were watching TV on a slow day at work, and there was an interview on the news with this Christian couple who decided to raise their daughter a Hindu.

They were talking to the mother, and in the background, is a statue of Vishnu.

Boss at the time: Who would be so stupid to believe in a God that has six arms?
Me: You could say the same about those who worship a cosmic Jewish zombie who promises you immortality if you eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Face it...to make baseless accusations about who is wrong about BELIEFS (IE religion, abortion, politics) is STUPID. If you think otherwise, you are part of the problem with the country/the world, and you need to be put out of everybody else's misery.

Politics in the OT? Hmm...

You can usually tell them from the foil content of their headware. The human mind is extraordinarily suseptibile to conspiracy theories from the JFK assassination, to faked moon landings, to UFO coverups, to 9/11. The flat earthers are at least as rational as any of them.

I'd like to read an impartial article on them. Rather than being objective like a news report SHOULD be, it was littered with subjective thoughts, and was invaded by the author's cynicism.

It's not our business to down somebody else for thinking something that we believe is a fallacy.

I'm not downing them; they can be as ignorant as they want and I won't care. There may be many things that are unsure in this universe, but a spherical Earth is on the "fer sure" list.

Aaaahhhhh, people keep forgetting that minds are like parachutes. They only work when open...

Gerry

Yes, but if anything is too open, including minds, garbage can get in

I think the flat earth folks are a case in point.......unless the comsats are all just really stuck to cosmic flypaper in which case.........
